I'm probably going to get this since I skipped the DS lite...and one of the shoulder buttons on my ds is starting to get a little wonky...
Downloaded games could be pretty cool, since you can take a bunch of them with you wherever you go.
I don't know why you people sound so surprised there's a new iteration of the DS.
They made the gameboy, gameboy pocket, gameboy pocket color, gameboy advance, gameboy advance SP, gameboy micro...etc etc.

why spend money on hand held game go buy a console like the xbox 360, way better, anyway most handheld game sucks

Can you take a 360 in the car with you on a 5-14 hour trip? No. Handhelds are made for on the go.

The new system could be fun, though. For me, most of my gba games suck, so I don't really care if I can play them or not. But, that would make most people not want it. Still, the gba games are too big to fit in something that can do that much, since that will take up most of the room. It will be interesting seeing how successful or unsuccessful it will be.

whatever happened to the micro?

It was released after the DS, which had GBA support...so I imagine the number of gamers who wanted a new, smaller GBA were quite limited.The SP was hardly huge or anything. You needed new cables for multiplayer and it didn't support the GBA/gamecube cable... It also couldn't play GB and GBC games...so quite the niche they were appealing too (It had faceplates!). Then the DS lite was released like a year later...so yeah...maybe if it a good while BEFORE the DS it would have done better.
